TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivatives, their salts, their hydrates or their solvates, and pharmaceutical compositions containing any of said compounds. The compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for myelosuppression, prophylactic or therapeutic agents for infectious diseases and agents for increasing the number of leukocytes. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention have inhibitory effect on dipeptidyl peptidase IV and hence are expected to be useful as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for diseases in which dipeptidyl peptidase IV seems to participate, such as immunomodurators, hormone modulators, anti-HIV agents, antiallergics, anti-inflammatories, antirheumatics, therapeutic agents for type II diabetes, etc.

BACKGROUND ART

It is known that the suppression of the functions of bone marrow by various causes seriously worsens systemic condition to become dangerous to life. As morbidities due to such myelosuppressive conditions, hypoplastic anemia, thrombopenia, leukopenia and the like are known.

As the mechanism of the onset of leukopenia among them, the decrease of leukocyte production and the acceleration of leukocyte destruction are mentioned. Causes for the decrease of leukocyte production include congenital diseases, irradiation with radiation, hypoplastic anemia, administration of an antitumor agent or antibiotic, etc. On the other hand, causes for the acceleration of leukocyte destruction include infectious diseases, immunological abnormalities, etc.

As a therapeutic agent for leukopenia, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) are effective at present. On the other hand, erythropoietin is used as a therapeutic agent for erythropenia. The employment of interleukin-6, interleukin-11, thrombopoietin and the like as medicines is in progress for treating thrombopenia. In addition, the employment of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and the like as therapeutic agents for myelosuppression is in progress.

For example, compounds formed by the substitution of a sugar by a N-acyl-N-alkylamino group at the 1-position are known (JP-B-1-40036) as compounds having defensive effect on infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, etc.

On the other hand, dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a serine protease that detaches the N-terminal dipeptide of a protein or peptide in which the second amino acid residue from the N-terminus is proline or alanine. In mammals, dipeptidyl peptidase IV is present in various organs such as liver, kidney, small intestine, hemocytes, etc. Although the biological role of dipeptidyl peptidase IV has not completely been established, it is considered that dipeptidyl peptidase IV participates in the metabolism of neuropeptides and hormones, the activation of T cells, the intrusion of HIV into lymph cells, and the like (see Immunol. Today, Vol. 15, 180-184 (1994) and J. Clin. Invest., Vol. 78, 906-913 (1994)). Therefore, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors are expected to be usable as hormone modulators, immunomodurators, anti-inflammatories, antiallergics, antirheumatics, anti-HIV agents, etc. In addition, it has recently been proved that glucagon-like peptide 1, which is an stimulating factor for insulin secretion in spleen, is inactivated by dipeptidyl peptidase IV. Therefore, the dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors are promising also as therapeutic agents for type II diabetes (see Diabetes, VOl. 47, p. 1253 (1998)).

As a compound having both effect on hemocytes such as leukocytes and inhibitory effect on dipeptidyl peptidase IV, Val-boroPro is known which is a dipeptide containing boron (see International Publication No. 94/03055). However, it has been reported that such compounds having boron in the molecule are decreased in activity in a neutral buffer solution because an amine coordinates with the boron, an active center (see J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 116, p. 10860 (1994)), and that they exhibit an insufficient preference for dipeptidyl peptidase IV over other enzymes (see J. Med. Chem., Vol. 39, p. 2087 (1996)). It is not easy to develop these compounds as medicines, and they are utterly different in skeleton from the compounds of the present invention. As compounds similar in skeleton to the compounds of the present invention, there are known sulphostin and compounds analogous thereto which have inhibitory effect on dipeptidyl peptidase IV (see International Publication No. 99/25719 and JP-A-2000-327689).

Another object of the present invention is to provide novel α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivatives having inhibitory effect on dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and pharmaceutical compositions containing any of these compounds as an active ingredient.

The present inventors earnestly investigated sulphostin derivatives and consequently found that novel α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivatives represented by general formula (1) and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof have an effect of increasing the number of leukocytes and have no influence on the number of platelets. In detail, by using mice subjected to a myelosuppression model induced by an anticancer agent, it was confirmed that the novel α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivatives represented by general formula (1) and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof have an effect of alleviating and treating leukopenia. In addition, by using normal mice, it was confirmed that the derivatives and salts have an effect of increasing the number of leukocytes and have no influence on the number of platelets. On the basis of these facts, it was found that the compounds of the present invention can be used as the active ingredient of a prophylactic agent and a therapeutic agent for myelosuppressive diseases, an agent for increasing the number of leukocytes and a therapeutic agent for infectious diseases, and that the usefulness of the compounds is greater because they have no influence on platelet at all.

The compound of the present invention can be produced as follows.

At first, an aldehyde or ketone corresponding to A is reacted with a compound of general formula (2):

wherein Q is as defined above, which can easily be produced from an ester (e.g. an amino acid methyl ester having an amino group in its side chain) by cyclization (conversion to a lactam) using a base or the like or can be purchased as a reagent (e.g. α-amino-ε-caprolactam in which Q is —(CH₂)₃— and which is commercially available from Sigma Chemical Co.). The compound of general formula (2) is subjected to reduction after treatment with the aldehyde or ketone corresponding to A or to conventional substitution such as N-alkylation or N-arylation. The amine, which has the substituent introduced thereinto, is protected by a conventional method, in order to convert to a compound represented by general formula (3):

wherein Q and A are as defined above, and G is a conventional amino-protecting group. The amino-protecting group includes, for example, carbamate type protecting groups such as benzyloxycarbonyl groups whose benzyl group may be substituted by a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, a nitro group or a halogen atom, tert-butoxycarbonyl group, etc.; and amide type protecting groups such as formyl group, acetyl group, trifluoroacetyl group, etc. The carbamate type protecting groups are preferable, and benzyloxycarbonyl group is more preferable.

When A in general formula (3) is a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or a cycloalkyl group, the desired compound can be produced by reacting the aldehyde or ketone with the compound of general formula (2), followed by reduction. When A has a substituent unresistant to reduction or A is an aryl group or a heteroaryl group, the desired compound can be produced by N-alkylation or N-arylation by using, for example, an alkyl halide or an aryl halide, respectively, as a reagent.

An introduction of a substituent containing a diaminophosphinyl group into the compound of general formula (3) can be carried out by the following method to produce a compound represented by general formula (4):

wherein Q, G, A, W, X, Y and Z are as defined above.

When the compound represented by general formula (4) has an unsubstituted diaminophosphinyl group, the compound represented by general formula (3) can be converted to the compound of general formula (4) by activation with n-butyllithium or the like followed by addition of phosphorus oxychloride and then ammonia, as in a well-known diaminophosphinylation (JP-A-2000-327689).

When the compound of general formula (4) is a derivative having a substituted diaminophosphinyl group formed by introduction of a lower alkyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, a lower alkenyl group or a cycloalkyl group into the amino group of a diaminophosphinyl group, or a derivative having a cyclic group (s) containing a nitrogen atom (s) and formed in a substituted diaminophosphinyl group, the compound of general formula (3) can be converted to the compound of general formula (4) by carrying out the same diaminophosphinylation as above except for adding a corresponding lower alkylamine, arylamine, heteroarylamine, lower alkenylamine or cycloalkylamine in place of ammonia.

When the compound of general formula (4) is a derivative having a substituted diaminophosphinyl group formed by introduction of a lower acyl group, an arylacyl group, a heteroarylacyl group, a lower alkylaminocarbonyl group or an arylaminocarbonyl group into the amino group of a diaminophosphinyl group, the compound of general formula (3) can be converted to the compound of general formula (4) by carrying out diaminophosphinylation followed by conventional acylation or conversion to a ureido. As an acylating agent, chloride, anhydride or the like of a corresponding carboxylic acid can be used. In the conversion to a ureide, a corresponding isocyanate can be used as a reagent. If necessary, these reactions may be carried out by using a base such as triethylamine, pyridine or the like as an additional reagent or a solvent.

The compound of general formula (4) obtained can be converted to the compound of the present invention represented by general formula (1):

wherein Q, A, W, X, Y and Z are as defined above, by carrying out deprotection according to a conventional method as follows. For example, when the protecting group for the amine is a benzyloxycarbonyl group, it is removed by catalytic reduction. When the protecting group for the amine is a t-butoxycarbonyl group, it is removed by acid treatment.

For the isolation and purification of the desired compound from the reaction mixture obtained in each of the above production processes, conventional solvent extraction, concentration, crystallization, distillation, purification by suspension, various chromatographies and the like may be employed according to need.

The term “prophylactic or therapeutic agent for myelosuppression” used herein means an agent for treating leukopenia, erythropernia and thrombopenia by administering the agent to a human being or an animal to induce the production of hemocytes such as leukocytes, erythrocytes and thrombocytes in the body. Such an agent is for preventing or treating myelosuppression caused by radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, cancer chemical therapy, an antibiotic or the like, and anemias such as renal anemia, hemorrhagic anemia, hemolytic anemia, iron-deficiency anemia, etc. The agent can be used also for preventing or treating aplastic anemia, thrombopenia, infectious or viral diseases, leukopenia caused by malnutrition or the like, sudden thrombopenic purpura, etc. In the present invention, the agent is preferably used for preventing or treating leukopenia.

The term “agent for increasing the number of leukocytes” used herein means an agent having a property of increasing the production of leukocytes in the body. This agent can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for various diseases due to a decrease of the production of leukocytes caused by, for example, a congenital disease, irradiation with radiation, an aplastic disease, cancer chemical therapy or an antibiotic, and various diseases associated with the enhancement of leukocyte-disrupting function caused by an infectious disease, immune disorder or the like. Specifically, the agent can be used as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the decrease of the number of leukocytes in blood and as an agent for treating infectious diseases by increasing the number of leukocytes in blood to a number larger than the normal number. Here, the term “agent for treating infectious diseases” means an agent capable of increasing the production of leukocytes in the body to enhance protective effect on infection with bacteria, fungi and the like or exhibit therapeutic effect on the infection. The leukocytes include, for example, neutrophil, cosinophil, basophil, monocyte and lymphocyte.

When the compound of the present invention is used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for myelosuppression, a therapeutic agent for infectious diseases, an agent for increasing the number of leukocytes, or a dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor, it is formulated singly or in admixture with an excipient or a carrier into a pharmaceutical preparation such as a suspension, an emulsion, an injection, an inhalation, tablets, pills, granules, fine granules, a powder, capsules, an oral solution, a suppository, an ophthalmic solution, an ophthalmic ointment, a percutaneous patch, an ointment, a trans-mucosal solution, a trans-mucosal patch, a spray or the like, and then orally or parenterally administered. As an additive such as the excipient or the carrier, a pharmaceutically acceptable additive is selected. The kind and composition of the additive are determined depending on an administration route and an administration method. For example, when the pharmaceutical preparation is an injection, sodium chloride and sugars (e.g. glucose and mannitol) can be usually used. When the pharmaceutical preparation is an oral preparation, starch, lactose, crystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and the like can be used. If desired, assistants, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffer solutions and other conventional additives may be contained in the above-mentioned pharmaceutical preparation.

Although the content of the compound in the pharmaceutical preparation is varied depending on the pharmaceutical preparation, it is usually 0.1 to 100% by weight, preferably 1 to 98% by weight. For example, when the pharmaceutical preparation is an injection, it is recommendable that the injection contains the active ingredient in a proportion of usually 0.1 to 30% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight. When the pharmaceutical preparation is an oral preparation, the compound is used together with additives in the form of tablets, capsules, a powder, granules, a solution, a dry syrup or the like. The capsules, tablets, granules or powder contains the active ingredient in a proportion of usually 5 to 100% by weight, preferably 25 to 98% by weight.

Although the dose is determined depending on the age, sex, weight and symptom of a patient, a purpose of treatment, and the like, the therapeutic dose is usually 0.001 to 200 mg/kg/day in the case of parenteral administration, and is 0.01 to 500 mg/kg/day, preferably 0.1 to 100 mg/kg/day, in the case of oral administration. The compound is administered in such a dose in one portion or in 2 to 5 portions.

In the case of the pharmaceutical preparation, the prophylactic or therapeutic agent for myelosuppression or agent for increasing the number of leukocytes, i.e., the α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivative of the present invention can be used for preventive administration to a patient who is expected to suffer myelosuppression. It is known that for example, when various diseases are treated by employing radiotherapy, antitumor agents and antibiotics, the malfunction of bone marrow is very frequently caused. To a patient who is expected to suffer such malfunction of bone marrow, the α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivative of the present invention is administered preparatorily before the treatment or at the time of the treatment, whereby effects can be obtained.

Examples of the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention and examples of pharmacological experiment on the compounds are described below as working examples, but they are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the present invention.

In NMR, when there is no internal standard reference material, a peak due to a solvent (4.65 ppm in the case of D₂O, 2.49 ppm in the case of DMSO-d₆, and 3.30 ppm in the case of CD₃OD) was employed as a base peak. When the synthetic product was observed as a mixture of two forms owing to rotational hindrance, the two forms were named A-form and B-form and NMR data of A-form and those of B-form were separately described to the best of our ability. When the synthetic product was a mixture of stereoisomers, the isomers were named stereoisomer A and stereoisomer B and NMR data of stereoisomer A and those of stereoisomer B were separately described to the best of our ability.

TEST EXAMPLE 1 Test for Evaluating Efficacy in Drug-Induced Leukopenia

The efficacy of the compound of Example 1 in drug-induced leukopenia was evaluated according to the method of Okabe et al. (Yakuri to Chiryo (Pharmacology and Treatment), Vol. 19, No. 6, p. 55, 1991).

ICR strain male mice (Crj:CD-1) aged 8 weeks were used in the test. The animals were divided into three groups of 3 or 4 animals each. On Day 0, cyclophosphamide was intraperitoneally administered once to all the groups in a dose of 200 mg/kg. From the next day, the following were intravenously and repeatedly administered to the groups, respectively, for 5 days (Days 1 to 5); a first group (a control group): physiological saline, a second group: the compound of Example 1 (30 mg/kg/day), and a third group: the compound of Example 1 (100 mg/kg/day). Blood was drawn from the orbital vein on Day 0 (before the administration of cyclophosphamide) and Days 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and the number of leukocytes was periodically measured to investigate the leukocyte-increasing effect of the compound of Example 1 on leukopenia induced by cyclophosphamide.

The results are shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Recovery of the number of leukocytes by the compound of Example 1 (unit: ×100/millimeter cube) First group (control group) Second group Third group Day 0 60 ± 16.8 33 ± 7.8  81 ± 38.7 Day 2 18 ± 6.6  23 ± 14.2 25 ± 8.3  Day 4 9 ± 2.9 7 ± 1.8 13 ± 6.8  Day 6 21 ± 2.5  25 ± 6.2  124 ± 144.2 Day 8 71 ± 31.7 108 ± 52.8  139 ± 36.7  Day 10 55 ± 11.3 58 ± 16.1 49 ± 7.3 

That is, the numbers of leukocytes of the control group were 100, 30, 15, 35, 118 and 92% on Days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, respectively; the numbers of leukocytes of the group treated with the compound of Example 1 (30 mg/kg/day) were 100, 70, 21, 76, 327 and 176% on Days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, respectively; and the numbers of leukocytes of the group treated with the compound of Example 1 (100 mg/kg/day) were 100, 31, 16, 153, 172 and 60% on Days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, respectively. This fact has made it clear that the recovery of the number of leukocytes to the initial value after the administration of cyclophosphamide requires 8 days in the case of the control group and that the recovery requires only 6 days, namely, the recovery is faster, in the case of the groups treated with the compound of Example 1. In addition, the data on Day 8 have proved that the compound of Example 1 is very effective in increasing the number of leukocytes.

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Test for Investigating the Increase of Leukocytes and the Decrease of Platelets in Normal Mice

ICR strain male mice (Crj:CD-1) aged 8 weeks were used in the test. The animals were divided into 5 groups of 3 to 4 animals each. The following were intravenously and repeatedly administered to the groups, respectively, for 5 days; a first group: physiological saline as solvent, a second group: the compound of Example 45 (hydrochloride of the compound of Example 1) (10 mg/kg/day), a third group: the compound of Example 45 (50 mg/kg/day), a fourth group: the compound of Example 45 (250 mg/kg/day), and a fifth group: sulphostin (WO 99/25719 and JP-A-2000-327689; (3S, PR)-3-amino-1-amino(sulfoamino)phosphinyl-2-piperidone) (50 mg/kg/day). On the day subsequent to the last day in the administration period, blood was drawn from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia and the number of leukocytes and the number of platelets were measured. The results are shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Measurement of the number of leukocytes (unit: ×100/millimeter cube) and the number of platelets (unit: ×10000/millimeter cube) attained by the use of the compound of Example 45 and sulphostin Number of Number of leukocytes platelets First group (control group) 6 ± 1  78.4 ± 11.3 Second group 25 ± 13 76.0 ± 7.8 Third group 23 ± 19 84.9 ± 8.3 Fourth group 40 ± 18 81.1 ± 8.0 Fifth group 15 ± 5  57.1 ± 5.1

The compound of Example 45 increased the number of leukocytes to such an extent that the numbers of leukocytes of the groups treated with the compound of Example 45 were larger than that of the control group by the following factors; the 10 mg/kg/day group: 4.2, the 50 mg/kg/day group: 3.8, and the 250 mg/kg/day group: 6.7.

In addition, sulphostin decreased the number of platelets (73%) as compared with the control group, while the compound of Example 45 did not decrease the number of platelets in all the groups.

Thus, it has been proved that the α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivative of the present invention is very effective in increasing the number of leukocytes and hence is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for infectious diseases. Furthermore, it has become apparent that the α-amino-N-(diaminophosphinyl)lactam derivative of the present invention does not decrease the number of platelets and hence is excellent in harmlessness in its clinical employment.

TEST EXAMPLE 3 Measurement of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Activity

After 0.025 ml of 3.2 mM glycyl·prolyl·β-naphthylamide (BACHEM, Switzerland), 0.1 ml of 0.1 M Tris-maleic acid buffer (pH 7.2) and a drug were mixed, the final volume was adjusted to 0.2 ml with water. The resulting mixture was heated at 37° C. for 10 minutes, and 0.025 ml of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV solution partially purified from rat kidney homogenate by ammonium sulfate fractionation was added thereto, followed by incubation at 37° C. for 1 hour. After the incubation, the reaction was stopped by adding 0.1 ml of 0.5 M sodium citrate buffer (pH 3.78) containing 10% polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monourate and 0.2% Fast Garnet GBC salt (Sigma Chemical Co., U.S.A.), and absorbance (a) at 525 nm was measured. At the same time, a blank test was carried out without adding the sample to the buffer solution and absorbance (b) was measured. The dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibition rate was calculated according to the calculation expression [(b−a)/b]×100. Table 3 shows the dipeptidyl peptidase IV 50% inhibition activity values of the compounds of the present invention measured by the method described above.
